A sweep-plane algorithm for generating random tuples in simple polytopes
Abstract. A sweep-plane algorithm of Lawrence for convex polytope computation is adapted to generate random tuples on simple polytopes. In our method an affine hyperplane is swept ...

Cutting Polytopes and Flag f-Vectors
We show how the flag f -vector of a polytope changes when cutting off any face, generalizing work of Lee for simple polytopes. The result is in terms of explicit linear operators o...

h-Vectors of Gorenstein polytopes
We show that the Ehrhart h-vector of an integer Gorenstein polytope with a unimodular triangulation satisfies McMullen’s g-theorem; in particular it is unimodal. This result gen...

Low-Dimensional Polytope Approximation and Its Applications to Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
In this study, nonnegative matrix factorization is recast as the problem of approximating a polytope on the probability simplex by another polytope with fewer facets. Working on th...

On the Graph Bisection Cut Polytope
Given a graph G = (V, E) with node weights v N {0}, v V , and some number F N{0}, the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all cuts (S), S V with (S) F and (V \ S) F is ...

Polytopes and arrangements: Diameter and curvature
By analogy with the conjecture of Hirsch, we conjecture that the order of the largest total curvature of the central path associated to a polytope is the number of inequalities de...

Realizations of the Associahedron and Cyclohedron
Abstract. We describe many different realizations with integer coordinates for the associahedron (i.e. the Stasheff polytope) and for the cyclohedron (i.e. the Bott-Taubes polyto...

Hausdorff approximation of 3D convex polytopes
Let P be a convex polytope in Rd , d = 3 or 2, with n vertices. We present linear time algorithms for approximating P by simpler polytopes. For instance, one such algorithm select...
